This is true, so the point (0, 7) is in the solution set of 5x−3y<21.

To determine which ordered pair is in the solution set of the inequality

5x−3y<21, you can use the given graph and test various points.

Since the inequality is < (less than), any point below the line represented by 5x−3y=21 should be a solution.

Here are the general steps:

Identify a point below the line 5x−3y=21. For example, you can choose a point with integer coordinates for simplicity.

Substitute the coordinates of the chosen point into the inequality

5x−3y<21.

If the inequality is true, then the chosen point is in the solution set.

Let's say we choose the point (0, 7) as a test point. Substitute these values into the inequality:

5(0)−3(7)<21

Simplify:

−21<21

This is true, so the point (0, 7) is in the solution set of 5x−3y<21.
